http://www.reefari.com This Lure Challenge puts three favourite lures up against each other to see what the best lure is. An interesting lure test with the Xrap Magnum 20 winning on the day, and also lost in battle in the end. These lures have been a great performer and also the Magnum Xrap 30 is a definate must have in your tackle box, and that good I would always have one in your lure spread. The amount of trips I've been on, and they been the gun lure, catching about twice the fish, per lure when compared to other lures. Other awesome lures are the Halco lazer pro, and RMG Scorpions.
They have great appeal and will catch fish of all species, from Mackerel to Coral trout and everything found amongst the Great barrier reef and edges. We also ran a Rapala CD18, one of the original famous Mackerel lures, and JP Mungo firestick deep divers, another awesome lure. Bit early in the mackerel season but knowing a few had been caught we thought we go for a quick troll around the nearby Keswick and St Bee Islands. First up a 17 Kg Spanish Mackerel fell to the Xrap Magnum 20 lure and we were pretty impressed. Bit more trolling and trying the local hot spots, ended up back at Singapore rock at the end of the day. Check the video out, but must have had a small mackerel on, which in turn got belted by a shark, ending up in alot of grief and hurt for me. I did the sensible thing and handed the rod over to Jason, as I am still recovering from a Spinal fusion operation. Long story short, the Shark won it's freedom after a tense tug of war with Jason, And of course one less Magnum Xrap lure, and all on it's first swim. Please keep an eye out for whaler shark around Singapore Rock!!

  • I like to run a big on stringle strand wire, even a short 15cm trace will give some protection against Mackerel's sharp teeth. Would use approx 100lb mono leader, but be prepared to lose some lures. Although mono may result in more strikes if Mackerel are being fussy,

    Cheers Greg

  • What leader do you use if your not using wire? Thanks

  • Looks like a good season for Spanish Mackerel, quite alot being caught off Mackay, Just slipped my boat and going back in the water today. The Outsider would be a good boat, and good motor combo, good luck, although a bit quiet for boat sales, but a good package for sure. Weather's been bit hit and miss, another lousy weekend coming up,

    Cheers Greg

  • Nice vid Greg good to see ya back in the action. I have unfortunately just put my boat "1st Born" up for sale. It is a 650 outsider with a 150 Yammy. If anyone is interested email me at digzi@live.co.uk We just picked up 4 spanish on the weekend out from Cairns. Weather was crap as usual however the fishing was awesome.

    Thanks mate
